- 2 medium ripe avocados firm; sub: slightly underripe for extra firmness
- 1/2 cup almond flour sub: crushed pork rinds for extra-crispy
- 1 large egg beaten; sub: unsweetened almond milk + 1 Tbsp ground flax for vegan

Instructions

- Seasoned coating: In a shallow bowl, whisk almond flour, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg.

About This Dish
Creamy avocado spears dressed in a spiced almond-flour crust, then air-kissed to golden crunch — this snack is pure keto magic. The air fryer locks in creaminess while creating a crisp shell without deep-frying fuss.
Health Benefits
- Avocado delivers heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that keep you satiated on keto.
- Almond flour adds vitamin E and fiber instead of the carbs found in a traditional breaded coating.
